Description
A true picture of baseball. -Tim McCarver From the humble heights of a Class-A pitchers mound to the deflating lows of sleeping on his gun-toting grandmothers air mattress, veteran reliever Dirk Hayhurst steps out of the bullpen to deliver the best pitch of his career-a raw and unflinching account of his life in the minors. A rollicking good bus ride of a book. -Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated Funny and honest. I loved it. -Tim Kurkjian, senior writer, ESPN The Magazine, and analyst/reporter, ESPN television Bull Durham meets Ball Four. -Rob Neyer, If Holden Caulfield could dial up his fastball to 90 mph, he might have written this funny, touching memoir. He might have called it Pitcher in the Rye. -King Kaufman, Salon Whether training tarantulas to protect his room from thieving employees in a backwater hotel or absorbing the gentle mockery of some not-quite-starstruck schoolchildren, Hayhurst reveals a side of baseball-and life-rarely seen on ESPN. Fascinatinga perspective that fans rarely see. -Trevor Hoffman
